^GWhen I stop ^Cdreaming ^CThat's ^Gwhen I'll stop ^D7loving ^Gyou

[Verse 1]

^GThe worst that I've ^Cever been ^Ghurt in my life ^GThe ^D7first time I ever have ^Cwanted to ^Gdie ^GWas the night when you ^G7told me You ^Cloved someone else And ^Gasked me if I could ^D7forget

[Bridge]

^GWhen I stop ^Cdreaming ^CThat's ^Gwhen I'll stop ^D7loving ^Gyou

[Verse 2]

^GI'd be like a flower unwanted in spring ^D7Alone and neglected trans^Cplanted in ^Gvain ^GTo a garden of s^G7adness where its ^Cpetals will fall ^CIn the ^Gshadows of undying ^D7pain

[Bridge]

^GWhen I stop ^Cdreaming ^GThat's when I'll stop ^D7thinking of ^Gyou

[Verse 3]

^GYou may teach the flowers to bloom in the snow You ^D7may take a pebble and ^Cteach it to ^Ggrow ^GYou may teach all the ^G7raindrops to ^Creturn to the clouds ^CBut you ^Gcan't teach my heart to ^D7forget

[Outro]

^GWhen I stop ^Cdreaming ^CThat's ^Gwhen I'll stop crying for ^D7you ^G ^C ^G ^D ^G
